He had a good run and is fondly remembered by many, many people as being a kind and generous man, quick to share his passions (or obsessions, your choice) with others and always, always willing to take the time to talk with a fan.

Even knowing in advance didn't mitigate the sadness I felt once I saw the headlines, but still...92... an excellent run.

I can't completely disagree with Harlan on the use of "sci-fi," or "skiffy," as he liked to pronounce it, at least as far as Ellison's own works are concerned, but sometimes Harlan seems so...touchy. He needs to take a Valium and go lie down.
